I don't know what APT::Clean-Installed does, but last time I looked,
it was non-sense, and not the behavior we want.
Furthermore, we want that to run automatically; and I would exclude
packages from it that are no longer available. That is, to be
automatically removed from the cache, the package must be:
(1) installed in the current run
(2) available in a non-volatile source (which basically follows
from 1)
It's entirely different to what autoclean does, as that removes
packages which are no longer available.
